TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to metallurgical technique field more specifically, relate to a kind of vacuum induction furnace. BACKGROUND
[0002] Metal smelting, such as magnesium smelting technology, is mainly electrolytic method and silicon hot method. Among them, the electrolytic method has long raw material preparation process, produces a large amount of chlorine gas / sludge by electrolysis, and has high investment in processing by-products and sludge, thus causing burden to magnesium production. Typical silicon hot method has Magnesium process and Pidgeon process, the former realizes continuous reaction of raw materials under liquid slag, the method has high reduction efficiency and short reduction time, but the problem of vacuum sealing of high-temperature electrode has not been solved, safety is not good, and cost is not superior. Pidgeon process has simple process equipment, low investment and low cost, so the crude magnesium produced by Pidgeon process accounts for more than 80% of the total magnesium output. However, Pidgeon process has problems of high energy consumption, low resource utilization efficiency, serious environmental pollution, inability to realize mechanized and automated production, and high carbon emission intensity.
[0003] In view of the above problems existing in magnesium smelting process, it is an urgent requirement to develop an efficient, environmentally friendly, low-cost and energy-saving raw magnesium smelting process and equipment to realize industrial upgrading, transformation and structural adjustment, and it is also a demand of green development. Therefore, based on the transplanted steelmaking equipment RH, single nozzle refining furnace and VD technology, a method of vacuum liquid injection smelting magnesium (or other metals) is developed. The method obtains finished product by injecting reduced calcined white powder into excess reduced silicon-iron liquid, and the whole smelting process is continuously supplemented with reduced silicon-iron liquid through a feeding channel. If the slag can be continuously discharged through a slag discharge channel, continuous production of magnesium (or other metals) smelting can be realized, which will be a completely new process. The method has good thermodynamic and kinetic conditions, high reaction speed, and the production capacity of a single equipment is higher than that of Magnesium, the reduction temperature is significantly lower than that of Magnesium process, and the cost estimation is lower than that of Pidgeon process. However, there is no suitable and effective slag discharge method for continuous discharge of liquid slag and slag-gold separation under vacuum condition. For example, the existing patent CN111270088B discloses a system and method for inductively heating liquid stirring continuous magnesium smelting, which provides a scheme for realizing continuous magnesium smelting by inductively heating liquid stirring, but does not specifically give the design of the slag discharge system. Patent CN117588946A discloses a continuous steel tapping induction melting furnace, which gives the system design of continuous steel tapping of induction furnace under atmosphere, but does not consider the sealing of continuous steel tapping process, so it is not suitable for continuous slag discharge under vacuum condition.
[0004] In summary, the method of vacuum liquid injection smelting metal in the prior art has problems of difficult slag discharge, slag-gold mixing and difficulty in continuous discharge of molten slag under vacuum condition due to poor flowability of molten slag and difficulty in separation of slag-gold.
